Devereaux is a man with a sense of humour where his sense of responsibility should be, and if he’s been forced to lead the squabbling, neurotic bunch of no-hopers he calls his colleagues, he’ll do so as the Lord of Misrule, whipping up vituperation and dissent to epic proportions. I’ve already promised this book to a friend of mine who’s in a much more conflicted department than my own, and urged my husband to read it because I know he’ll love it.Īnd the cause of all this adulation? The story of Hank Devereaux, temporary Chair of the English Faculty from Hell at West Central Pennsylvania University. What a great writer he is, wry and clever and poignant and so very witty. What do you think was the first thing I did on finishing this book? Any guesses? You at the back there? You’re quite right – I got onto amazon and ordered everything by this man I could get hold of.
